The Chicago Tribune is reporting that on the eve of the 2001 NBA Draft the hottest name around is not Kwame Brown, Eddy Curry, Tyson Chandler or Pau Gasol.  The name on everyone's lips is young star Elton Brand, the 20/10 product of the Chicago Bulls.  League sources confirmed that Jordan is chasing Brand with the Wizards #1 pick, as are the Clippers with their #2.  'League sources said the Wizards and Clippers offered their draft picks for Brand, for different reasons. Late Tuesday the Clippers were considering selecting Chandler, the Southern California high-schooler. If they do, the deal would be off because Curry would slip to the Bulls, who would take him.' writes Sam Smith.  In a scenario concocted by Smith, the Bulls could take Kwame Brown with their pick from the Brand trade, take an athlete such as Rodney White with their pick at #4, then trade Ron Mercer to New Jersey for the seventh overall pick and take Jason Richardson.  Just what the Bulls need.. get even younger from the 2000-01 squad, the youngest in NBA history.
